Understanding the Cartesian Plane

The video tutorial explains the Cartesian plane, focusing on the X and Y axes and the four quadrants. It describes the properties of each quadrant, such as the sign of the coordinates, and demonstrates how to determine which quadrant a point lies in. Additionally, it covers points that lie on the axes, emphasizing that every point on the plane is either in a quadrant or on an axis.

What is the name of the plane used to recognize a point on one plane?

• Elliptical Plane

• Spherical Plane

• Cartesian Plane

• Polar Plane

How many parts or regions is the Cartesian plane divided into?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• Five

In which quadrant are both the X and Y coordinates positive?

• First Quadrant

• Second Quadrant

• Third Quadrant

• Fourth Quadrant

Which quadrant has negative X coordinates and positive Y coordinates?

• Fourth Quadrant

• First Quadrant

• Third Quadrant

• Second Quadrant

In the third quadrant, what are the signs of the X and Y coordinates?

• Positive X, Positive Y

• Negative X, Positive Y

• Positive X, Negative Y

• Negative X, Negative Y

Which quadrant has positive X coordinates and negative Y coordinates?

• Second Quadrant

• First Quadrant

• Fourth Quadrant

• Third Quadrant

If a point lies in the second quadrant, what can be said about its coordinates?

• Both coordinates are positive

• X is positive, Y is negative

• Both coordinates are negative

• X is negative, Y is positive

Where does point E lie if it is on the Y-axis?

• On the X-axis

• Second Quadrant

• On the Y-axis

• First Quadrant

Where does point F lie if it is on the X-axis?

• First Quadrant

• Second Quadrant

• On the Y-axis

• On the X-axis

What does it mean if a point lies on one of the axes?

• It lies in the first quadrant

• It lies in the second quadrant

• It lies on either the X-axis or Y-axis

• It lies in the fourth quadrant
